Comprehensive data protection has been a challenge for mid-size organisations. Enterprise-class products come with higher cost and complexity, while lower cost products that have traditionally targeted these organisations sacrifice performance, efficiency and application support. Dell EMC built the IDPA DP4400 from the ground up as a simple, yet powerful, solution for mid-size organisations—featuring enterprise-class capabilities for backup, deduplication, replication and recovery. IDPA DP4400 also offers built-in cloud readiness features with disaster recovery and long-term data retention to the cloud.

“The accelerated pace of cyberattacks combined with an increasingly mobile workforce in Asia exponentially increases the need for organisations to protect their most valuable resource – data. Our comprehensive data protection capabilities aim to deliver essential protection while helping mid-size organisations unlock the speed, agility and innovation required for maximum business results,” said Saravanan Krishnan, Director, Data Protection Solutions, Southeast Asia, Dell EMC. “The IDPA DP4400 is a converged data protection solution that’s as simple to use as it is powerful — with support for the largest application ecosystem and expansion to the cloud. It offers the right level of modern features and capabilities, and is highly scalable to meet the demands of mid-size data centres at the lowest cost to protect, and we believe would be an enabler for organisations today.”

Simple and Powerful, at the Lowest Cost to Protect

The IDPA DP4400 blends simplicity and performance for mid-size organisations and remote office-branch office (ROBO) environments. The solution is designed to provide organisations the lowest cost to protect and is guaranteed under the Dell EMC Future-Proof Loyalty program.

Grows in place with no downtime: A single 24TB appliance can grow in place to 96TB with a license key and no additional hardware to purchase.

Protect more data with 55:1 average deduplication: IDPA DP4400 can protect approximately 5PB of usable data capacity. And, with native Cloud Tier for long-term retention, the total protected usable capacity increases to 14.4 PB.

Supports largest application ecosystem: Includes support for modern applications such as MySQL and MongoDB, both physical and virtual, and support for multiple hypervisors (VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V).

Delivers powerful performance with NVMe flash: Shortens backup windows by up to 2x; backs up only de-duplicated data requiring up to 98% less bandwidth; and supports 7x more backup streams while delivering instant access and restore of virtual machines to help meet stringent SLAs and RPOs.

Cloud-ready solution: IDPA DP4400 comes with 5TB licenses each for Cloud Disaster Recovery and Cloud Tier as well as a Dell EMC RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines starter pack that provides five VMs and a one-year subscription.

With an average 55:1 deduplication rate, The IDPA DP4400 also offers efficient and cost-effective native Cloud Disaster Recovery (to Amazon AWS) with end-to-end orchestration—failover in three clicks, and failback in two clicks—all without the need for additional hardware.

The IDPA DP4400 is optimised for VMware environments, with leading integration that enables vAdmins to perform most common backup and recovery tasks directly from the native vSphere UI. Protecting up to 5x more VMs in a single 2U appliance and with automation across the entire VMware data protection stack (VM deployment, deployment of proxies and movement of data to protection storage), the IDPA DP4400 makes it easy and cost-effective to scale up to protect more VMs. It also provides faster VMware backups and recoveries, and more efficient networking and capacity with its leading deduplication and bandwidth utilisation.

The IDPA DP4400 offers customers excellent value and TCO—costing up to 80% less to protect. With up to 2x faster backup windows, up to 20% more capacity in a 2U appliance, and an average rate of 55:1 deduplication—it offers the lowest cost to protect among competing products in its class.
